A galvanometer is a type of sensitive ammeter: an instrument for detecting electric current. It is an analog electromechanical actuator that produces a rotary deflection of some type of pointer in response to electric current flowing through its coil in a magnetic field. Galvanometers were the first instruments used to detect and measure electric ...

consists of a coil of wire suspended in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet. When current flows through this coil of wire, the magnetic field exerts a torque on the loop, which is opposed by a spring. When you attach a pointer to this coil, you get an analog readout of the current.

A galvanometer is an instrument for measuring a (usually minute) electric current by the deflection of a magnetic needle. Basically, it is comprised of a coil beneath a suspended magnetic needle. When electric current passes through the coil it sets up a magnetic field and attracts the needle, the stronger the current the more powerful the magnetic...
